Phnom Penh

[Meo Den]

It looks like Yang Mei on st 252 is being squeezed.

It was open this afternoon but only a handful of masseuses were present. Possibly the more desperate ones. And they were in their street clothes.

I took a new one (blonde) and after considerable time-wasting with a pointless attempt at massage and numerous phone calls she indicated she would have to check downstairs if sex was allowed. She came back and told me no, not on the premises, but we could use the guest house across the road ($5). She offered to pay for the room herself but by then I wasn't interested as all the bad signs were there: pathetic massage, telephone, moaning about money etc. She wanted me to take her mobile number as she seemed keen to do home visits.

Downstairs I paid the $7 and the papa / mama confirmed what she had told me.

Given that they were still open it looks like they are being leaned on by the powers that be, looking to increase their tea money rather than to close them down altogether.

It may blow over. If not they will be back to turning street tricks which is where most of them came from.

I also noticed that most of the pimps were absent, just the doorman and two tuktuk drivers on the street.

Hi.
I meet a nice girl at Black cat bar a couple of mounth ago. She wanted 30 USD for ST.
BL.

Sorry had to do it but did you mean. Met a nice girl a couple of "mouths" ago? Seems like Freud is slipping again. LOL.

A post after a long time, and I see this PP thread sounding just like the one for Pattaya. Mongers lamenting over prices. Get over it guys. People pay what they think they should and what they can afford. There is no more science to this, than a bar of soap.

I have a question for expats living here or mongers who have frequented PP several times. I have visited 3 times and I am no expert.

April 29 is the Visaka Bucha day. What does this mean for bars, girls and alcohol? I know what happens in Thailand but I do not want to extrapolate that knowledge to this market.

Yes, I knew that going in but her service was way above the normal bar girls. I had bargained another girl from the same bar for $50ST, but she ended up to be a dead fish.

But that's the fun of what we do. Sometimes good sometimes bad, sometimes you over pay, sometimes you luck out.

I think the barfine was 10 USD.

Did your buddy admit / confirm this?

Yeah I am overpaying, but she remembered me and said my buddy gave her $100. F me!

Unfortunately, this is the new reality of the scene. Am not sure what's causing the spike in prices, but what you.....

A buddy of mine last December took a bar girl $70ST and gave her $30 tip!

She was really cute and great service, when I BF her earlier this month. Gave her $70 and $10 for her great service. Yeah I am overpaying, but she remembered me and said my buddy gave her $100. F me!

Many times when I book a girl, I bargained but after the deed, I paid more then what they asked.

In Cambodia, everything we need to bargain. For eg, 1 yr ago, I wish to take a taxi from pp airport to sihanok, the taxi man quoted me usd120. After a series of bargaining, the taxi finally agreed at usd60.

Please tell me where you are getting these prices from. This is my second time here. 4 years ago I got a chick for 13 ST (Walkabout) and another chick for 28 LT (Heart of Darkness). This time it is like I am in a different Cambodia. Bar fines are ranging from 10-17. In some places they say barfine is buying x amout of lady drinks. Like one place you have to buy 4 lady drinks at 3.75 each. Then the chicks are wanting 50-70 ST or 100 LT after that.

At 2am last night I was able to talk a chick at Tiger bar on 136 down to 12 BF and 30 ST. Then they kept trying to make me buy 2 drinks before I could bar fine her. I told them no way. They gave in and I took the chick to my room for an hour.

Before that, me and a wingman were at Pontoon. Chicks were talking 100 ST and 150 LT. What has happened to this place?

Unfortunately, this is the new reality of the scene. Am not sure what's causing the spike in prices, but what you posted is the norm. Some guys just overpay and don't care.

Can anyone confirm if the GSM Bar complex (st 51) is completely torn down now? Renovation is supposedly ongoing. Was there in October 2017 and 2 bars remained open, but now read they are gone. Where have the bars / freelancers relocated?

Why do people always assume that when something is closed down / torn down that the bars and hookers relocate? You can read some threads and see that mongers are anxiously waiting the return of some place that closed down 10 years ago. From my mongering experience around the world, when that shit is gone then it is gone. Nobody is building new mongering venues. They may recycle an old one, but new ones just don't happen. Just be thankful that you got to enjoy it while it lasted. Those chicks are probably somewhere waitressing now.

Last night I visited some places at the main intersection on 136. I ended up bar fining a girl from a place, but I forget the name. It is across from Mr. Butterfly.

Cost:

- Beer for me $2.

- Drink for her $3. 75.

- Bar fine $10.

- Her ST ask $50.

I agreed to her asking price of $50. All in this cost me $65.75. My guess is you won't get much cheaper from any of the main bars at that intersection. I'd say the girl was an 8 as far as looks and body go. She let me do whatever I wanted during our ST together and she had a good attitude with good English skills. ST i...........ht.

At $40, I believe she will readily agree.

At $30, she may or may not agree.

At $35, I believe she will give in too.

The prices are totally out of whack with what is on offer. Who is paying these prices? I've been to Cambodia / Phnom Penh many times over the years, and it was never a great place to monger in my opinion and add to that its deteriorated at a greater pace than all other countries (from a monger perspective). I struggle to find a cause for this. Is there a way for us to fight back against this? Maybe a monger's guild / union that blacklists certain bars / girls? Or approves certains bars?

And bar girls are still running the drink scams. The other night 5 of us were on 104. Chicks lured us into Rose Bar. We are trying to talk about getting some ass. They always pressure you by saying buy a drink first, then we talk about it. As soon as we bought drinks those biches left us and headed to the other side of the room never to return. 48 more hours until I am back home in Pattaya. This place can go to hell.

ST in this case included two shots and she left shortly after the second shot, which was exactly what I wanted. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll probably try different one tonight.

[Mr Enternational]

For LT in hostess bars, I won't pay more then usd60 plus barfine $10.

ST max I pay is usd25.

For any freelancers in phnom penh, ST USD20, LT Usd40.

In fact, in what phnom, I pay only ST 10, LT 35.

This is Cambodia, and if I'm a Cambodian, I too will quote as high as possible to a foreigner, just trying my luck.

We live in a world survival of the fittest. May the best man win.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the details on pricing. I'm not one to overpay. I will always walk away if I think I'm being treated like a sucker. I've been doing this in Asia for about 15 years, but slowed down a lot recently. Anyway, is it still a pain in the ass to change $100 bills in PP? The money changer only gave me hundreds. It was a great rate, so I didn't complain.

I'm interested in meeting friends, so if anyone wants to meet-up, please inbox me. I'll be arriving on the 14th. I'd like to do some clubbing and bar hoping.

To Punk Boulala.

I been to Cambodia 3 time never need to change money I always just use USD bring small bill one and five for motor bike and hotel will also change your 100 usd bill to smaller usd bill, the THB is also widely use I use 50 bht for short trip on motor bike most vendor will give you small change in Riel and I just give it to the kid on end of my trip.
